Sep. 3rd - The Great Gatsby and the 1920's

  • Watched the video to provide context for our reading of the Great Gatsby.  The video is linked below.  We used the linked note-taking sheet to take notes during the film.
  • In journals we responded to this question: How does what you saw in the film shed light on what you have been reading in the novel? We finished the period by sharing our observations.
  • Took a quiz on Chapters 1 & 2.  Makeup quizzes are in the testing center (note, if quiz is not in the Kramer folder, check the Rigler folder and vice versus).
  • In our discussion groups, shared our observations and thoughts about the development of the characters, Nick and Tom.
